Restaurant Week 2023 kicked off last week across Columbia and will run through Sunday, Oct. 15. This is the perfect chance to snag great deals at some local favorites — or soon-to-be favorites.
If you’ve never experienced Restaurant Week before, local restaurants will offer special deals (think — three courses for $35, specialized dishes or menus... etc.) to encourage folks to try new restaurants and eat locally.
We’re giving you an idea of how Restaurant Week works below by sharing three local deals we have our appetites set on.

Japanese | Dinner: $39 Special for two
- Your dinner will include one banchan, two savory house-made egg rolls served with sweet and sour sauce, a pair of scorched bourbon chicken yakitori skewers, one okonomiyaki, and one fried rice option.
